Xinrae's Weapon

How is WoR fire and forget? It's more active than anything else. Fire and forget in the sense it still does its job, which is healing. The condition removal is gravy. Maybe I misspoke.

heroes dont use Xw. they do use WoR. They do use it. It only looks like they dont use it because the other skills on their bar take higher precedence. If you disable Weapon of Warding, you will see it used more often.

Heroes use Xinrae's as a protection spell (like WoW) but use WoR as a condition remover. Weapon of Shadow synergizes with Xinrae better than WoW. If your healer already brings Foul Feast, it makes more sense to bring Xinrae's over WoR.

They do use it. It only looks like they dont use it because the other skills on their bar take higher precedence. If you disable Weapon of Warding, you will see it used more often. this is the problem, it should be the most used skill on the bar.

this is the problem, it should be the most used skill on the bar. Here is my tip on how to design skill bars for heroes:

Whenever you put fast recharging skills like Xinrae with other fast recharging skills with similar functionality (i.e. to cast on allies who are under attack) in the same skill bar, you should know that they will "compete" with one another for cast time. If you want Xinrae to be used even more often, try disabling "Mend Body and Soul" and Spirit Light. Also replace Weapon of Warding with Weapon of Shadows (longer recharge). Set your healer to avoid combat (so they dont waste time wanding enemies) and with a skill bar like this:

[build=N/Rt][Xinrae's Weapon][Weapon of Shadow][Protective was Kaolai][Foul Feast][Life][Death Pact Signet][/build]

Bring Mhenlo along to cover any necessary healing in HM and go pwn with the awesome power of Xinrae.

I would rather leave a good bar on my hero and have Anet update the AI for XW to reflect the skill change. Don't hold your breath. Like I have said, the AI is working correctly, it is the skill bar that needs to be optimized. There is no point making the AI compete heals against prots.

Besides, with Xinrae being cast often from my hero, I dont need much healing anyway.

Don't hold your breath. Like I have said, the AI is working correctly, it is the skill bar that needs to be optimized. There is no point making the AI compete heals against prots. no, the AI is not working properly, it obviously wasn't updated with the skill.

no, the AI is not working properly, it obviously wasn't updated with the skill. Since you insist, suit yourself and hope/wait for an ANet update on the basic game mechanics. Many hero skills work this way, not just Xinrae. If you have many fast recharge skills on the same bar that do about the same thing, then they will all compete for cast time. Putting a fast recharge healing spell on an orders hero, has a similar problem. If the hero keeps casting heals, he won't be casting orders and vice versa, so during the crunch when heals are badly needed, orders casting tend to slow down (i.e. lower frequency of DF and adrenaline to fire up SY) whether you like it or not.

Once you understand how it works, it is easier to know what skill bar would work well on heroes and what wont. As for me, I am already gaining the benefits of making it work the way I want it right now with a new skill bar.

On my sabway build I use xinrae's weapon isntead of weapon of remedy and Im REALLY happy with it

is there a reason I dont know that makes people use wor cause the remobe 1 condition is nothing reasonable imo

xinrae heals more/makes you get %5 of max hp

so can someone explain? Cuz they are 1337 yes? 1-3-3-7! Cuz its not gud with them if hero just spams it, it needs to be cast like a preprot, why does it matter in PvE you ask? Uh...idk! xP

Uh...idk! xP Isn't the same can be said of PSpirit? If heroes can't preprot this well, do any of you think they would preprot PSpirit well or guardian or even Shield of Absorption?

Even if they cant preprot, they may cast it when they detect an ally taking damage and the 5% of max hp plus life steal can heal them on the next hit or you micro it.
